ing chief of police the mayor stated
that he had no fault to find with the
q feeling prevalent that il would be for
the best interest of the Office and also
for the city that a change be made.
AS to the pound master he would
suggest that he receive a certain salary
every month, instead of $50, to be paid
Nov. LIST and 500 May LIST, together with
fees, as there might arise question as
| to who would have the $50 and 500
should the officer not prove a cOmpe-
tent one and his place have to be filled
with someone else. AS to fees, good
pound master wouldn't get much, as
there would be such scarcity of cows
that there would be no fees to collect

GERS, who were duly approved by the
council: Chiefof police, j. w. Fowler;
